Firing people isn’t the easiest thing to do. Yet, most employers will have to let an employee go at some point.

Many employees will go away quietly, never to be heard from again. A few, however, may remain a thorn in their former employer’s side. This webinar seeks to help you avoid the latter scenario. You can’t change the person you’re firing, but you can control how you do it. There’s no guaranteed formula, but there are some best practices and approaches to avoid.

Why You Should Watch This Webinar

Social media has become ubiquitous. Just about every organization uses social media in some way in connection with hiring new employees. Either in recruiting candidates in the first place or reviewing applicants under consideration for hire.  However, there is a surprising amount of legal regulations that may affect these practices. Recent lawsuits and compliance efforts by regulatory authorities demonstrate that employers should take appropriate precautions to avoid and be positioned to defend claims by unsuccessful applicants.
